Using WordPress to send Email Spam

nmallory, if you are running the two blogs on the same db, you shouldn’t have a problem, as long as you are still using the or that “plugin” in the second blog too (calling it up via the first blog’s location, or info for the plugin).

If you are trying to use the main blog’s contact plugin db info within the second one, without the actual files..I think you’ll have a problem.

Unless you use the call tags from blog2’s files to blog’s one’s files.. if you know what I mean..Or maybe I’m wrong..someone else can tell ya better..

For the WP-Email, pluggin, I’ll have all the .php files in their appropriate wordpress direcories for each blog. My concern is in the db itself, can 2 blogs share the same table?

As far as I know..the contact plugins run on the same “email” connections as your main site’s or host’s email settings..so if you have blog1 at this setting, and use the same settings for blog2 you’ll be ok..

The email part of it, doesn’t necessarily get stored in the database persay..but that email stuff runs off of the Host’s email settings you got when signing up with the host…I hope I’m making sense.. lol..

Facinanting.

BTW, Jaxia, there are several other posts around here about someone using the contact forms to spam.

nmallory, don’t make me sound like a flucking idiot! That pisses me off for one! I posted my reply to best of my knowledge, the questioned asked was:

“For the WP-Email, pluggin, I’ll have all the .php files in their appropriate wordpress direcories for each blog. My concern is in the db itself, can 2 blogs share the same table?”

I basically said, that as long as your email connections with your host are the same, then you should be ok. If you’re trying to run two WP DBS within the same DB, then just change the one “table_prefix” on one of them.

If you want anti-spam plugins, search for them… If you want to “mask” one blog to be able to spam other’s blogs….then I’m not helping..get the shit straight..cause I basically answered to the best of my knowledge…don’t post replies like this basically saying I’m an idiot..

“Facinanting.

And no matter how many times you’d try to mask the fact of using the same DB as the original WP, you’ll still be having others tracking ya down for spamming…if that’s your intentions…just not do it period.. cause it’s all in the IP addy anyways.

If that’s not your intentions, then forgive me, but still understand that your contactform plugins will WORK OFF THE MAIN ACCOUNT OF YOUR HOST ACCOUNT FOR EMAILS, OR OTHERS…

It don’t matter on which DB it’s running on or BLOG! Change it from blog to blog then. If you want the Main site account email on blog1 use it…if you want Hotmail.com account on blog2 use it…simple shit…

*blink*

Woah. I was neither being insulting nor sarcastic in any of my posts. I certainly never implied anyone was an idiot, except maybe me. I’m just trying to figure all this out as I am neither a db expert nor a php expert.

Sorry if you took it the wrong way.

Look, I couldn’t even spell fascinating right…that should tell you something. ??

It’s just the “title” of this post as this:

“Using WordPress to send Email Spam”

And the way things were commented, just got me hot. And also the way that one comment of your’s was made,..made me even more mad. Sorry for blowing up..but just don’t do that shit again lol..please. Cause I was “trying” to help. With the best of my knowledge..

WP can share the same DB’s, just as long as you have different “table_prefixes” for each WP installed. And for the email stuff, it’s basically the same as your host email account or either another account of your choosing.

But you have to have it setup just right. No flaws n stuff with the “connection” settings..

Again, please forgive of my outburst..just got hot quick. Because it sounded like you were making me out to be a dumbass…

I was just trying to re-explain it from my understanding to make sure that I understood. ??

Not sure how I got blamed for actually trying to send spam. I’m a fanatic spam-hater and the fact that someone was using my blogs to send spam really bothers me. I’ve had to shut down email accounts in the past because spammers were using the address somehow. To me, it’s like identity theft.

“Not sure how I got blamed for actually trying to send spam.”

I wasn’t blaming you persay on spamming others, just the post title was wrote wrong to being with lol! Ya gotta admit that would put anyone through a loop in confusion maybe.

And that’s why I through in “assumptions” at you or others, because of that “post title”. But the argument brought out the truth now…so lets not dwell on it further, for EVEN MORE arguments.. Because I’m game if ya want more arguments.. lol!

Anyway…I said I was sorry.. I understand your intentions, questions and such now..it’s all good. =)

erm, so is it the contact form problem or my wp-email problem? I will take spam issue seriously.

GamerZ — I’m not entirely sure. However, since I upgraded to the newest versions of both, I haven’t seen any spam activity.

okie thanks alot for the feedback =)
